•Mateo’s, a family restaurant in Waupun, plans to open a branch in Kaukauna in the next few days, according to its Facebook page. It will offer only carry-out and delivery to start in accordance with state "Safer at Home" guidelines. The restaurant is at 215 W. Wisconsin Ave., in the former Rico’s. Info: Facebook, 920-462-4522.

•Butch’s Pizza in Kimberly stopped offering carry-out operations because it couldn’t keep a safe distance between employees in its kitchen.

“We are eagerly awaiting a reopening when life is back to some form of normal,” owners Mike and Missy DuFrane said in an email.

•The Pawffee Shop Cat Cafe in Grand Chute ceased curbside coffee and bakery take-out. It sent its kitties to the Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary until it can fully reopen.

"We can't wait to get back to normal," said co-owner Leah Enking.

She's applying for small business aid programs and figuring out how to pay the rent. Customers can help by buying tumblers and T-shirts online, she said.

•Mai’s Deli in Appleton has shut for 14 days. Its staff answered an online message asking if it the closure had been done to quarantine. “Due to business declining, we have decided to use this time to work on some internal business improvements and small renovations.
